i did it.
well - one goal accomplished for today. i worked out FIRST THING when i got home. and i discovered the secret to making a workout less miserable (for those who are convinced that working out is pure misery): I decided to try reading while working out. I hadn't done this in a long time, because I attempted to read a textbook while working out in college and it turns out that might actually make working out suck MORE. but today i read Harry Potter!! and it was excellent. I got through two and a half chapters and almost 2 miles had gone by. usually i quit at 1.5 miles. AND - this helps me accomplish the goal of reading every day (which has been way too easy to skip). i'm so excited.
and for complete lack of knitting content, i thought i would share the song that i've recently discovered and that has become my anthem for my commitment to working out and for the rest of my life.
Alanis Morisette "Excuses" from her album So-Called Chaos
Why no one will help me I'm too dumb I'm too smart
They'll not understand me I'm lonely they'll hate me
There is not enough time It's too hard to help me
God wants me to work no resting no lazy
These excuses how they've served me so well
They've kept me safe they've kept me stuck
They've kept me locked in my own cell
I'm too far from home it takes far too much energy
I cannot afford to, no one will ever see me
These excuses how they've served me so well
They've kept me safe they've kept me stuck
They've kept me locked in my own cell
These excuses how they're so familiar
They've kept me blocked they've kept me small
They've kept me safe inside my shell
Bringing these into the light shakes their foundation and clears my sight
Now my imagination is the only thing that limits the bar and its' rise to the heights
No one can have it all see I have to, they want me to
I can't let them down I will never be happy
These excuses how they've served me so well
They've kept me safe they've kept me stuck
They've kept me locked in my own cell
These excuses how they're so familiar
They've kept me blocked they've kept me small
They've kept me safe inside my shell
I first heard this song I knew it could help me keep going and help me see what I want to be and how to get there. It's a real catchy tune, too.
Do you all have anthems, too? Or is just me?
